To clone (transfer) data directly from one BCD996T scanner to another BCD996T scanner, you must first connect the scanners to each other using the included connection cables and a DB9 null modem adapter and for the rear port, a DB9 gender changer (neither included), available at most computer stores. Then you must set one scanner as the source and the other as the target.

Connected as shown, and with both ports correctly selected, no other hardware is needed.

1.Select the Front Port for the Master. Select the Rear Port for the Slave or vice versa.

2.Plug the 9-pin serial connector into the unit designated as the Rear Port.

3.Plug the smaller connector into the front port of the unit designated as Front Port.

4.When you are ready to clone the scanner, press [SCAN/SEARCH] on the slave scanner first, then [SCAN/SEARCH] on the master scanner. The master scanner checks the connection between the two scanners, then transfers its data to the slave scanner.

5.When the transfer is complete, Complete appears on both scanners. If the transfer did not work, Error appears on the master scanner. Readjust the baud rate to a lower setting and try again.
